We'll see who's really top dog

Tuesday night brings the highest honor in the canine world: the Best in Show award at the 142nd Westminster Dog Show in New York. At the annual show at Madison Square Garden, judges first select the champs in seven dog groups: hound, toy, non-sporting, herding, sporting, working, and terrier. Those winners then compete for the Best in Show prize. In 2017, a female German shepherd named Rumor overcame disappointment from a year earlier to take the top prize. Fox Sports 1 will provide live coverage of the Group Competition and Best in Show judging from 8-11 p.m. ET.

Judge set to rule on Assange's arrest warrant

A British judge is scheduled to quash or uphold an arrest warrant Tuesday for WikiLeaks founder Julian Assange. Assange, who has spent more than five years inside Ecuador’s London embassy to avoid detention, was wanted in Sweden for a rape investigation. Swedish prosecutors dropped the investigation last year, but the British warrant for violating bail conditions still stands. Assange’s lawyers asked for the warrant to be withdrawn, arguing that 5½ years in the embassy has been punishment enough. The judge rejected their request last week.

'Sports Illustrated' makes waves with Swimsuit Issue

The 2018 edition of Sports Illustrated's famous Swimsuit Issue will be revealed on Tuesday, including who will land the coveted cover. Supermodel Kate Upton was last year's cover star, her third cover for the magazine since 2012. While currently a secret, SI is teasing that this year's reveal will be a "moment for the ages." Beyond the cover star, SI has also made waves with this year's issue by joining the Me Too movement with an empowering "In Her Own Words" project. Sports Illustrated editor M.J. Day said in an interview that the models chose “powerful words, positive words" written across their nude bodies "that represent them and their beliefs and their passions and their messaging.”
